Archie's Valentine: A Rock & Roll Romance

Description

In the same vein as the critically acclaimed Archie: The Married Life series, Archie's Valentine should be a rousing success, combining the popularity of Josie and the Pussycats and the regular Archie cast of characters. This unique story is a charming exploration of what Archie's life would be like if he married Valerie from the Josie and the Pussycats rock band, featuring iconic storytelling and cartoon art of acclaimed writer/illustrator Dan Parent, creator of the wildly popular Kevin Keller.

DAN PARENT is an American comic book artist and writer best known for his work with Archie Comics, where he is an innovator behind some of Archie's biggest hits. Most notably, Parent is the writer/artist of the KEVIN KELLER series, which continues to receive widespread, positive media attention, most notably the 24TH ANNUAL GLAAD MEDIA AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING COMIC BOOK. He also was the writer of the story in which Archie fell for Valerie of Josie & the Pussycats, the artist of the OBAMA AND PALIN IN RIVERDALE, ARCHIE MEETS KISS and ARCHIE MEETS GLEE graphic novels.
